+These Companies have Developers ( working on projects hosted mainly on Linux ( Debian ) development Servers and shared using Samba shares) who need real time backups of their Project files and corresponding Databases.

+The developers should be able to access the backups using Microsoft Windows, Linuxes, BSDs or Mac OS X desktops/cliemts.

Till late the backup was implemented using backuppc ( http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/index.html ).

+ 1. The directory ( www-5mbak ) was shared using Samba as [WWW-5minsBak]

+

+ 1. Project Files were rsynced from the Linux Development Server to the pfs 'www-hot' every 5 minutes using cron and a snapshot is taken to its parent directory 'www-5mbak' if the rsync completed successfully.

+

+ 1. Sanpshoting is disabled in the pfs configuration and prune values are set to retain backups to the desired no. of days.

+

+A Microsoft Windows User can access these snapshots as shown in the PIC below.
